\"\"My friend is going through a lot right now but she still thoughtfully gifted me a tarot reading for my birthday. I\u2019m not sure how people manage to hold so much in their heads\u2026menopause has certainly compromised my memory and I don\u2019t even have that much to remember! I make lists and that usually keeps me on track. Still, the move last weekend was chaotic and my appointment at the visa center yesterday didn\u2019t go as planned. The holiday on Tuesday delayed the wire transfer after Monday\u2019s closing but I tried to stay calm and things worked out. Then this morning the buyer made post-sale demands and I felt myself spiraling\u2026I know it\u2019s largely due to fatigue but it was helpful to hear some truths affirmed in my reading. My tarot reader focused on my number for the year, which is 9 or The Hermit in the Major Arcana. We started with a different deck, which showed a fox resting in a starlit circle. Owen, who\u2019s fantastic, reminded me that the hermit can represent a kind of tension\u2014movement inward and outward in a cycle. I\u2019ve been feeling for a long time that I wanted to retreat\u2014experience deep solitude and silence. I\u2019m reading about Irish monasteries right now and remembering my visit to Glendalough last year. My cousin joked about hermits forsaking all worldly possessions and I definitely wished I were a medieval monk last weekend as I was chucking my stuff into garbage bags because it wouldn\u2019t all fit in my suitcases. I hate waste and gave SO much away but there was still stuff leftover\u2026I wound up throwing some things in the trash, which felt terrible. I also rented a storage unit and couldn\u2019t even fill it but those few boxes now feel like a tether. I\u2019m leaving but I\u2019ll have to come back to deal with those things someday, which means I\u2019m not really free. THINGS! Ugh\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"The hermit in tarot also travels by limited light so I ought to take small steps even though what I want right now is to leap into a new life. Transition is hard\u2026I manage my anxiety by keeping an orderly home and following a routine but I feel unsettled in this Airbnb. And if my application takes 3 weeks to process (apparently they\u2019re prioritizing student visas right now) then I\u2019ll have to find another place to stay next week. I\u2019m still writing a poem a day, I\u2019m trying to read for an hour, I\u2019m checking things off my To Do list and I\u2019ve got folks reaching out who want to connect before I leave. When I try to withdraw, the world pulls me out of my cave. But I\u2019ll always crave that solitude, even as I yield to others\u2019 demands, which are ultimately good for me most of the time. I had a virtual author visit last night, and I\u2019ve got another one next week. A librarian reached out about a virtual visit later this month\u2026I\u2019m trying to say \u201cyes\u201d as much as I can, to keep making connections with others even as I give myself the restorative, quiet time I need. Here\u2019s hoping that the next blog post is from France!<\/p>\n
